The A-Frame attaches to the GIN POLE HEAD to construct the standard Vortex tripod configuration. The A-Frame with legs attached on both sides is also used as a standalone, bi-pod rigging piece. the Lower Legs can now be used to connect directly to the A-Frame by inserting the bottom end (stud) of the Lower Legs into the A-Frame. A pulley, Omni-Block, or pulley sheave connects directly to the A-Frame with a quick-release pin to increase the effective height of the Vortex.
